PSB Lambir pro tem chief files police report over alleged slander
MIRI: Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) Lambir branch pro tem chairman Abu Bakar Amit lodged a police report yesterday against a Facebook account holder for alleged slander.
Abu Bakar, who filed the report at Miri Central Police Station, called on the authorities to probe the individual behind the ‘Jasson Bourne’ account over the alleged slanderous remarks made against him barely a day after he joined PSB and set up the Lambir branch’s pro tem committee.
“I hope the police and the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission ( MCMC) will take appropriate action against the perpetrator, whoever he or she is.
“The photo of me and slanderous remarks against me in social media by ‘Jasson Bourne’ are an attempt to tarnish my image and political career,” he said when met, adding he was made aware of the alleged slander against him by several friends.
On July 26, Abu Bakar, who was formerly Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu ( PBB) Pujut branch chairman, led over 300 former PBB grassroots leaders and members in joining PSB to form the party’s Lambir branch.
The other grassroots leaders included former PBB Pujut Information chief Ishak Ahmad and former PBB Pujut Women’s chief Lila Mohamad.
